What is the inheritance of Meesman’s dystrophy?

It is autosomal recessive inherited like most of the corneal dystrophies (which are autosomal dominant).  The other autosomal recessive dystrophy is the AR form of CHED.

Pretty sure it is auto dom

Only macular dystrophy, type 3 lattice dystrophy, and one form of congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy are recessive.
For OKAPs I think macular is enough

Autosomal dominant! The wording in the question is inconsistent as well. PS, when can we buy a paper copy?
